hama or Mites are small eight-legged parasites (in contrast to insects, which have six legs). They are tiny, just 1/3 millimeter long, and burrow into the skin to produce intense itching which tends to be worse at night. The mites which cause scabies are not visible with the naked eye but can be seen with a magnifying glass or microscope.
Scabies produces small bumps and blisters in the webs between the fingers, on the wrists and the backs of the elbows, in the groin and on the knees, and on the buttocks. Men sometimes get what look like pimples on their penis. It is helpful to know that not every bump is a bug. In most cases of scabies in otherwise healthy adults, there are no more than 10 or 15 live mites even if there are hundreds of bumps and pimples.kalau salah seorang ahli keluarga terkena jangkitan ini sangat senang merebak kepada seluruh ahli keluarga yang lain atau jika di terjangkit kepada pelajar diasrama lagi senang merebak dan menjadi wabak yang menjengkelkan..mana tidaknya jadi kudis, menanah dan meresahkan pengidapnya.yang tak boleh tidur malam asyik menggaru je kerjanya.
